Shipping within Canada
Providing accurate shipping estimates is tricky right now. We encourage you to use your tracking number to follow orders. If you have a tracking number, it means MEC handed your order to a shipping partner.

Standard Post is insured for damage or loss. Some items cannot be shipped by standard methods. Contact us to find out if your order requires extra freight. Ground, door-to-door service for large items or hazardous goods is also available, some restrictions apply.
Provincial and federal taxes are applied during checkout.
Delivery outside urban areas
Most orders ship from our western Canada distribution centre and may take 2–3 days to process, in addition to the delivery estimates shown. Estimates are most-accurate for urban centres. Post office boxes, rural or remote locations may take longer. Call to confirm shipping availability outside urban areas.
